{"product_id":"the-monster-within-barbara-almond-9780520271203","title":"The Monster Within: The Hidden Side of Motherhood","description":"Mixed feelings about motherhood--uncertainty over having a child, fears of pregnancy and childbirth, or negative thoughts about one's own children--are not just hard to discuss, they are a powerful social taboo. In this beautifully written book, Barbara Almond brings this troubling issue to light. She uncovers the roots of ambivalence, tells how it manifests in lives of women and their children, and describes a spectrum of maternal behavior--from normal feelings to highly disturbed mothering. In a society where perfection in parenting is the unattainable ideal, this compassionate book also shows how women can affect positive change in their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Almond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520271203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520271203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Barbara Almond","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919950348543,"sku":"9780520271203","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0838a666-2f9b-417a-8a4d-c901777d5150.jpg?v=1680812808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-monster-within-barbara-almond-9780520271203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
